Exactly. That’s called fraud or negligence, depending on the outcome.

Yeah, my kids told me about Ruby Gillman and I was like ... wut. I don’t even know where THEY heard about it because they’ve been home for summer and don’t have any streaming services with ads.

Did they really use $100M to market? Because it wasn’t marketed very well. I’d be SHOCKED if thats what they really spent and that wasn’t just the accounting number used for tax purposes.

 But I was told if you ‘went woke’ you’d ‘go broke’... you mean that wasn’t true?

This seems like a terrible idea if for no other reason than we know that Facebook is pretty unscrupulous about the ads it will sell. There’s no trust there that the apps they offer won’t be malware or spyware addled, or downright malicious.

Watching on mobile is usually fine, there seems to be a single pre-roll ad and 1 mid roll ad. I use adblocker on desktop, so can’t comment there. Watching on my AppleTV on a TV, though? It’s EXCRUCIATING. An 8 minute video has a pre-roll ad and 3-4 ad breaks with 2 ads each in the video. That’s WAY too much. I put it…

Zuckerberg actually trains and participated in martial arts competitions. I think he would wreck Elon pretty quick because Elon is so full of himself and he doesn’t know what he doesn’t know. He’d go in swinging like a fucking ox and immediately get taken down.

Is this a ‘public’ bridge/track, or one that’s supposed to be maintained by the rail companies privately?

I don’t think it’s if someone posts a link, but more so the ‘trending’ things. Meta (and Google) will give you links to news articles if you search, but, specifically in Google’s case, you’d get the amp version, or just a headline/photo/blurb that wouldn’t necessarily show the ads/etc that the source had in the…

Yeah, when you ask people “Oh... maybe you’re right. What color skin do real mermaids anyway?”

Except in this one it’s only going back to 2021, not the 1940's.

The guys from Bitch Hunter would be a much better fit for the tone of the Themyscira series.

My kids were born right as the XBox One/PS4 came out. I said I would get one of them, but not till later when it wasn’t $500. Why spend $500 to not be able to play it? Then as time went on, I just ... skipped that generation. Ended up getting a Switch and beefing up my gaming PC in about 2018 and never looked back.

It also takes away one of the incentives for devs to release an unfinished game, too. “Oh, someone else will finish it for free or flesh out the world better.” Mods should still exist, but maybe not in the same way of “Here’s the keys to the kingdom” kind of stuff. And let’s be honest, 98% of mods are trash. That last…

He was creeping on underage girls and people had the receipts to prove it. That wasn’t what the legal issues were, though. That was different. It also doesn’t mean he didn’t do it, it means that they don’t have enough evidence to prove it, and since he’s presumably fairly wealthy at this point, he’d have the ammo to…

So if the creative director for say, Diablo IV, turns out to be a complete and utter creep and is fired, then they shouldn’t hire a new creative director and finish the game, but instead just fire everyone at the studio working on it and tell them to find a new job at a different studio?

I mean, it’s still good that the entire production team doesn’t lose their job simply because Roiland is an asshole. They signed contracts for more seasons, so those people planned based on that.

I say ‘buddy’ but he was a work associate. Not really a friend, just someone I was friendly with since I saw him every day at work.

Yeah, if the pirates could have just kept their mouths shut till release day, it probably wouldn’t have been an issue. Back in the day, my VERY strictly anti-piracy buddy was very mad at me because I bought Bioshock for 360 before the street date. Toys R Us was selling them a week early and he said that I should be…

I just wish that demos and shareware or even renting a game were still a ‘thing’. That’s my big problem, especially on the PC. Lots of people had ALL KINDS of problems with Cyberpunk2077. However, lots of people on PC, kinda didn’t. Myself included. But knowing that lots of people had issues, there’s no way to find…
